Duck Dynasty's Phil and Willie Robertson may be cut from the same cloth, namely, camo, but when it comes to presidential politics, the father-and-son reality stars do not see eye to eye.
On Thursday, the younger Mr Robertson officially endorsed Republican frontrunner Donald Trump for president, calling him 'a real leader' during the 16th annual Outdoor Sportsman Awards in Las Vegas.
'He’s not very politically correct. He’s very bold. He loves his country. And he firmly stands behind the 2nd Amendment,' the 43-year-old CEO of the Louisiana-based company Duck Commander told the audience at The Venetian Las Vegas.

A week earlier, Robertson's father, Phil, threw his support behind Trump's chief rival, Senator Ted Cruz, from Texas.
The Cruz campaign released a video that shows the outspoken Robertson patriarch describing what he is looking for in a president, and then explaining why Cruz has all those attributes.
The 69-year-old founder of the Duck Commander brand agreed to back Cruz's candidacy for the White House after the two went on a hunting trip together.
'My qualifications for president of the United States are rather narrow: Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo?' asks Robertson at the beginning of the endorsement video.
He then goes on to say that Cruz is the only person running for president 'that fits the bill.'

At Thursday's event in Las Vegas, Willie Robertson, dressed in a plaid shirt and a star-spangled bandanna, couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a dig at his dad for his endorsement.
'I’m not talkin’ about my father. Phil’s not here, he had to cruise on back to Louisiana. So he’s unfortunately missing this event,' Willie quipped, according to the Independent Journal Review.
Trump, who according to the latest CNN poll leads Cruz in first-to-vote Iowa 37 per cent to 26 per cent, said he was 'truly honored' to accept the younger Robertson's endorsement.
'He is a great person, has had tremendous success and a really terrific family,' the real estate mogul said in a press release. 'He believes in my message and knows that I am the only one who will Make America Great Again!'

Both Robertson and Trump later tweeted out a photo of the two of them shaking hands and grinning for the cameras at the Outdoor Sportsman Awards, which were also attended by the candidate’s sons Eric and Donald Jr.
The Robertson family, whose reality show Duck Dynasty is currently in its ninth season on A&E, have been known to throw their support behind conservative politicians.
In November, Willie starred in an ad for Louisiana Sen David Vitter during his unsuccessful gubernatorial bid, and in 2014 he attended the State of the Union address as a special guest of then-Congressman Vance McAllister.

Wow, I was kinda on the fence, but if the Duck Dynasty guy went for him, I guess that decides it.
